    There's a difference between you and me.

    You're fine with exploiting the inexperienced to win. It's acceptable by my standards, but the more you win, the more players you scare away from participating in PvP mode in a long run.

    As for me, I don't mind losing if it's satisfying. I want fairness and enjoyment for everyone in PvP, even in defeat.
    We're in 2 different worlds. Let me show you a piece of mines. (see lower comments)

    Raiders already travel from the other DCs to Aether. People on Dynamis who want to do just about anything have to travel. So exploit this fact to keep everyone happy. Specifically:

    Aether FL continues to allow light parties.

    Crystal and Primal are solo queue only.
    I'm pretty certain it's one or the other for all data centers...here's my gripe though. Whether it's vets and newbies, casual and hardcore, groupies and soloists, we for some reason can't seem to come to a middle ground. We already telling duos and other groupies who want to play CC together to either fill thy group or go to frontlines. If frontlines goes solo I'm pretty certain that Rival Wings will follow suit to make things 'fun and fair'. Do we just send the groupies to pve after changes? If so, I'm not sure what makes soloist any different than premades since in either scenario a group of people are being chased away.
    I'll be fair here. I'm trying so hard not to become another Emet. I only see myself failing as time passes by. Sure, things got better with the removal of 8 man and being forced to freelance. However, my world was also torn apart in the process. I went from taking majority of my games serious to be told that I should play a different game mode for taking them serious, from being creative with how I help the team to being forced to group with just the zerg strategy, from raising a team on my own combatting the most dominant gc to praying to RNG that I have people willing to fight and not solely farming, from outsmarting certain premades in 24 to being forced to be at their mercy in 72. Despite all of these changes I still play trying to recapture that fun I once had. It's gettinging difficult though. Those who used to group 8 man, majority I don't see anymore. Those who enjoy CC that wanted to group with others, I hardly see these days. I would like to enjoy my games with others as a soloist, but with everything being pushed towards solos only it's getting more difficult to enjoy the victories I do get. It's getting difficult not to quit entirely. It's extremely gotten difficult making friends who also likes to pvp. The past journey was brutal. The rules were brutal. My first 100 games were 10-20-70. However, they was also where my best win rate was right before all of these bomb changes. I don't want anyone having to go through this. However, I do hate how badly the past is received. It was horrible. It wasn't that horrible though. That, to me, is just being overly exaggerated. To me..

    I don't think premades are incredibly strong. I think it is the playerbase that is incredibly weak. They die over and over to the same setup, and don't start wondering how to stop it, counter it, or use it themselves.
    If you would have said lazy I would have agreed with you. I've been seeing examples of that for 6 years now. Weak? No. Hard disagree. There's just not an incentive to try. While that isn't an acceptable excuse people do come and play frontlines for various reasons. You can't put the blame on everyone for how things are now. If you gave everyone an incentive to try then maybe games would improve overall. Finding that incentive is the tricky part. However, I think that should be doable in the forums...if folks are willing to find a middle ground.
